Retirement and forum shutdown (17 Jan 2022)
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin
Cory eggs - still hatching after 36 hours
I had just emptied a fry tank, so I put the egg spawn into it. On Sunday morning, I noticed a dozen or more free swimming little fish in my tank.
On Monday evening I took the eggs out, as I assumed they had all hatched, and put it into my shrimp tank, as a snack for them.
A couple of hours later I see 1 solitary Corydoras fry in my shrimp tank
. That's at least 36 hours, after the rest of his batch had hatched.My only concern now is that they warned me in the lfs, not to put the spawn in with my shrimp as they will eat them. I guess it will be a while before i need to worry about that though

Another customer actually brought the spawn in (for Frank who looks after the fish section), along with a bag of juvenile corys (apparently they have 2000 corys of different breeds, sitting in tanks at home ).I saw someone else on the forum had black Venezuelan cory's spawning a while back - boy would I love a group of them, they are a stunning little fish.
